Beginning their history of sweets in 6000 BC—when primitive cave dwellers drew pictures of people scooping honey from trees—to the present day, authors Ann Love and Jane Drake explore the universal fascination and love of sweets, particularly candy. The book is chock full of “sweet” facts that will give readers insight into the who, what, where, when, and how of candy. Claudia Dávila’s humorous illustrations, informative maps, and time lines are the “eye candy” for the book. 2009 Hackmatack Children’s Choice Book Award (English Nonfiction Winner). ak
